BROWNE, Proprietor, Cambridge, August 22nd, 1898. 23/8 mo STAND THIS SEASON AT 1 MORRINSVILLE, The Thoeoughbred Hoese, LEOLANTIS, . By Leolinus (imp.)—dam Atlantis (imp) 1 Leolantis is a chestnut horse, ten years old, stands about 16 hands 1 inch, and is strongly built in every way and possessed of grpat muscular power. As a three-year-old Leolantis easily won the Auckland Guineas of IS9O, of 150sovs, one mile, in and the same day, one race afterwards, in the Prince of Wales Handicap, one mile and a half, carrying 7st 91b, was just beaten by Cissy, Bst lib (sister to Trenton), in same year, carrying Bst 91b, he ran a close third in the Auckland Railway Handicap: time, 1.16. The same dayhe won the Christmas Handicap of 100 sovs. one mile and a quarter, carrying Bst 31b (as a three-year-old), and beating six others ; jtime, 2 12. Next day Leolantis ran third in the Auckland Derby, and was only raced once after that through meeting with a mishap. However, Leolantis during the time he was on the turf proved that he could gallop. This is not to be wondered at when his excellent breeding is taken into consideration. A glance at the following table will quickly disclose that he comes from a splendid family : Stockwell, The Baron Irish liirdea'er won 2000 gs& w'nSt.Leger Echidna St. Leser - c Pocahontas Glencoe g Marpessa \& Orlando iTouehstone ISelina Vulture ; Lady of Bib Velocipede verkeld Well Emma 11.

The stock sired by him are big, strong and active colts. His oldest gets are four-year-olds, and one of them, Atlantic, won hurdle races at Avondale, Takapuna, and the Hurdles and a flat race at the late Gisborne meeting. Atlantic and Leo (who broke his leg) are the only horses sired by Leolantis that have been tried. However, being half-brother to such a stud success as St. Leger should alone be sufficient recommendation for Leolantis, and, together with his size and substance, he should prove invaluable to breeders for getting racehorses, cross-country horses, hunters, and a good style of carriage or hackney horse.
